So, I got this GTX 950 Stormx dual Palit 2gb , that was very dirty and full of dust, I tested before on my PC and it was working, I then clean it and still worked on my main PC, then I wanted to install it on my brother's PC , but I did not get any video signal , tried on 1st and 2nd pci express slots, and then I attempted to install it on one of my friend's pc but still no video signal.

The gpu's golden fingers, pci express is a bit rusty, could that be the cause? That It doesn t make perfect contact with the other motherboards because they might have the pci express ports dusty and the gpu's golden fingers, pci express is a bit rusty?

my motherboard is brand new - less than 4 months of use
I changed the thermal paste
I connected the fans on gpu
And ,Yes, I plugged the 6-pin connector on the gpu on all three PCs

edit:On my brother's pc I get 3 beeps after turning on

1
On my brother's pc I get 3 beeps after turning on.

2
When the gpu is plugged on second pci express port on my pc it seems to get the same issue like the one on my brother's pc. When plugged on the first pci express, It's working perfectly fine.

So at the moment it appears to be a problem with the gpu, probably the pci express connector

3
1 beep an 2 long beeps, on the PCs i tested. I tried to update the firmware, and still nothing, then updated the bios on my brother pc motherboard, and nothing

It only works on my pc on the first pci express port, the white plated pci express 4.0
